Understanding the Issue

The error occurs because the field has been configured only to accept non-negative numbers. This configuration is controlled by the minimum value setting in the field’s validation and defaulting tab.

2. Access the Validation & Defaulting Tab- In the field settings, click on the "Validation & Defaulting" tab.

3. Remove the Minimum Value- Locate the "Minimum Value" field.- Remove any value specified in this field to allow for negative numbers.

Key Point

Double-check the minimum value setting. The minimum value defines the smallest number possible for input in the Custom Transaction Body Field. Removing this value will permit the entry of negative numbers.
